The amount that is invested in the purchase of the certificate will double in 100 months i.e. 8 years and 4 months. This scheme was initially launched in the year 1988. However, a committee under the leadership of Shayamla Gopinath was appointed by the Government of India that gave the recommendation that the KVP could be misused. As per this recommendation, Kisan Vikas Patra was closed in the year 2011. KVP was reopened in the 2014 under the new government that decided to relaunch this scheme.

The KVP is a certificate and can be purchased in 3 ways – an adult for themselves, an adult on behalf of a minor, a Trust or two people can purchase this certificate together.
